I work in this industry and I can confirm that there’s fucking nothing ensuring the privacy of these transactions. Tens of thousands of people have full access to everyone’s credit card history, and that’s not counting unauthorized access and card skimmers.

Don’t use credit cards. Use cash (or Monero if buying online).

Exactly. Those are the only two ways of ensuring privacy.

Makes me glad I use Monero because nobody besides me and the recipient has access to that transaction.
